Fantastic functions and where to find them
summary
Shows concrete hacks and libraries: demonstrates invade using PHP reflection to read private properties and call private methods (works in demo), builds a Fork utility that forks processes, uses socket pairs to send child results back to parent and runs closures in parallel, installs Global Ray via auto_prepend_file to expose ray() globally, and uses Livewire-style server-rendered HTML for interactive pages. Cites ecosystem size — ~300 packages, ~280 million downloads total and ~18 million/month — and converts PHPUnit tests into shorter Pest-style tests.
